The ascent is definitely worthwhile in good weather. The view after climbing the tower is indescribable. In addition, a nice descent awaits mountain bikers, such as the continuation to the alarm pole.

Is worth a trip. :-)

Beautifully flowing, slightly wavy and mostly in the shade. So nice to bike even in the heat!

A wonderful path along the Gelbach stream. Plenty of nature, sculptures on display, and excellent trail conditions.

Beautiful? Yes! Mountain bike highlight? Definitely not! Even a trekking bike with a Conti Doublefighter is not up to the task here.

Idyllic picturesque valley, the bike path is really great to ride, sometimes a bit demanding in the mud, even for beginners when it is dry.
